Spring Snow.

Crossing the vernal equinox this week, we have officially entered the second season. Winter however seems to think otherwise. The Ice Lady never leaves voluntary and fights to the bitter end to remain in reign in my part of the world.
Her wrath is endless and currently absolutely fierce, making this March one for the record books as the coldest ever meassured.

Nature and animals yearn for spring and so do we. Everywhere I look, there is a pristine blanket of spring snow and the easterly winds blow arctic air over us, keeping the temperatures below freezing.

The only vernal sign is the light. The sun is raising earlier and setting later by each passing day. There is something altered about the daylight as well, as it slowly turns platinum instead of golden.

Despite the final fury of the winter, a point of no return has been reached and that universal feeling of an approaching seasonal shift can clearly be perceived - the best time of the year has already begun.

Oh yes... may Spring truly be upon us all soon. Here in Canada sometimes we get a gentle fade in, but often times it's a violent transition from freezing grey conditions, to sweltering humidity. Bizarre! I love spring, especially when accompanied by a week or two of heavy blossoms. Great pictures as usual!

They did say it was going to be a very cold spring. Maybe this means a very hot summer too. But it feels good in the morning to go out into fresh cool air. One misses it and this is why we always look up at the snow capped mountains in summer, wishing for a small change from the heat.It kinda makes you feel cooler doing that lol

Our spring here in BC is green but also chilly One doesn't know how to dress.I live in the southern part specifically chosen because I don't like shoveling snow lolHave a great Week Zuzana!!!

It's similar here.. I'm growing weary of the weather. Last March, we were walking around in t-shirts and sandals. Of course, it snowed sometime afterward.. but still! I'm ready for the weather to cooperate with the calendar.

So lovely to hear from you Zuzana! I've missed blogging, but a break has been necessary--Yes, I see both sides of divorce. What you said is so true! Betrayal hurts so much, but when there is infidelity, domestic abuse--it is necessary. I know that things will work out for the better for my son.Well, here I've been complaining about our cold, drizzly weather here while you are living in a truly frigid world! I reminded my husband today "March should end as a lamb" --Oh, I do hope so, for I miss puttering in the garden and soaking up the sunshine!V

Oh, but such beautiful photographs, Zuzana!We are getting snow this weekend as well. MUCH needed snow, as they say Colorado is in for yet another drought year. So - I cheer the snow on.Hope you have a lovely, cozy weekend!Hugs,Zuzu

Aaahhh indeed Spring will not be denied!! And how I praise God for that! Spring fever has never felt so hot than this year it seems! But soon, very soon, we will all be singing summery tunes and posting springy pictures! Blessings to you and yours my friend! :)

zuzana - i'm looking at very similar scenes outside my window right now - we've just had over a foot of snow in the midwestern us!! (so atypical for march). can't tell if that's an apple in that foto, but agree that - underneath all that white - the earth is warming and soon we'll see that altered daylight you speak of.

Hi Sweet friend! I have thought about you so much...since I've found my true love. You were right all along...it just happened. And it is magical, easy, enjoyable, fun and OH so delicious!Hope all is well with you!

About Me

I was born under the Tatra Mountains, to a Czech father and a Slovak mother. I grew up in Sweden and lived almost ten years in North Carolina.
More than a decade ago my line of work took me to Denmark, where I live today. My home, which I share with the man that holds my heart, lies in the northerly part of a Danish peninsula, in the proximity of endless, wide and pristine westbound sandy beaches, surrounded by the rough and untamed North Sea.
My writing is defined by reflections on my cosmopolitan past and my intriguing present. Ultimately I try to convey in words and images my personal thoughts and feelings about life itself, with all its magic, natural splendour and the beauty of simple pleasures.
